I doubt if he will be good. I'm willing to give him a chance. Here's what some are hoping he can turn around.

Quote:
China is currently our largest goods trading partner with $598 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2015. Goods exports totaled $116 billion; goods imports totaled $482 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $366 billion in 2015.


That's US jobs, companies, profits, $$$$, taxes, etc. Flowing out of the US. In 15 years China has quadrupled its hold over America. In the next 15 years, most of you will find it hard to find Americans with enough money to spend. Not only because of the increasing lack of disposable cash. The added problem is all the Third World Affiliates trying to drink out of your trough.

Will Trump stop that? We don't know.

Would Hilary have stopped it? No, she's part of the reason the US is dropping behind.

Here's the problem. Neither of them are powerful enough to make the changes. It needs Americans to stop voting for people dedicated to making America economically weaker. By exporting jobs and importing the goods once made in the US.

The hard part is a lot of Americans can;t stomach the idea of paying more for goods to keep their country strong. That will cost Trump the next election.
